This change makes invalidation mechanism more aggressive. With a primary goal to invalidate short living nodes faster. In current setup any node that became known in terms of discovery will stay in this state until it will fail to respond to 5 queries. Removing them earlier from a table allows to reduce latency for finding required nodes.
The second change, one adds a version for discovery, separates status dht from ethereum dht.
After we rolled out discovery it became obvious that our boot nodes became spammed with irrelevant nodes. And this made discovery process very long, for example with separate dht discovery takes ~2s, with mutual dht - it can take 1m-10m and there is still no guarantee to find a max amount of peers, cause status nodes is a very small part of whole ethereum infra.
In my understanding, we don't need to be a part of ethereum dht, and lower latency is way more important for us.
Closes: #941
Partially closes: #960 (960 requires futher investigations on devices)
Now if Add is to be called it will be called before Wait, this is achieved
by doing following:
- if cancel() gets lock first and closes channelCh before spawnSync is called
we will exit right away
- if not than we will ensure that we hold a lock until syncers are spawned
so that cancel() will be blocked for this time and it will prevent whole Terminate() from
progressing
This change adds adds an ability to use different source of time for whisper:
when envelope is created it is used to set expiry
to track when envelope needs to be expired
This time is then used to check validity of the envelope when it is received. Currently If we receive an envelope that is sent from future - peer will get disconnected. If envelope that was received has an expiry less then now it will be simply dropped, if expiry is less than now + 10*2 seconds peer will get dropped.
So, it is clear that whisper depends on time. And any time we get a skew with peers that is > 20s reliability will be grealy reduced.
In this change another source of time for whisper will be used. This time source will use ntp servers from pool.ntp.org to compute offset. When whisper queries time - this offset will be added/substracted from current time.
Query is executed every 2 mins, queries 5 different servers, cut offs min and max and the computes mean value. pool.ntp.org is resolved to different servers and according to documentation you will rarely hit the same.
Closes: #687
* Rebase on 1.8.5
* Remove outdated patches and apply all others
* Use shh_post that returns hash
* Use bloom filter for request to mailserver
* Remove tests for sending messages without subbing first
* Fix deadlock in ethdb
* Expect null if receipt is not yet created
* Subscribe to messages before sending them in whisper test
* Add default peer limits configuration
If discovery is enabled for a given cluster - we will set a default
expected number of peers for each enabled service. For example:
- if cluster is rinkeby has a discovery enabled we will
check which services are enabled
- if whisper is enabled we will set min and max limits by default
- if les is enabled and infura is not used we will set limits too
When statusd is used - configuration must be provided using configuration
supported by statusd.
* Fix deadlock in les peer set
* Implement shh api extension that allows to confirm that message is sent
* Add a patch
* Fix linter
* Add readme
* Add tests for tracker
* Address review
* Add debug log to test package t
* Add comments for test restrictions
* Add explicit errors for mainnet
* Panic instead of error in case of mainnet during tests
* Now panic with illegal network
* Validate the compiler flag for mainnet
* Made test for unset mainnet explicit
* Forgot to use my flag
* Linter has troubles with unused field
* Add default network id
In e2e tests there's no default anymore in go code. So ensure in Makefile.
* Fix dumb syntax error
* CI needs build with Mainnet
* Explicit rebuild only for tests
* No more separation of mainnet and testnet builds
* Build flags now set in Makefile
* Update project to use Whisper v6. Part of #638
* Revert "Add patch to downgrade usage of Whisper v6 to v5 in some geth 1.8.1 vendor files. Part of #665" - this reverts commit 6aefb4c8fd02dbcfffac6b69e8bb22b13ef86b6b.

Improve patcher tool:
* fix broken `-p` flag,
* rename it to `-b`,
* add a new `-p` flag that allows specifying the source of the patches, so that it can be used for more than just go-ethereum patches,
* make it work correctly independently of the order that options are specified in the command line.
